👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. In a saucepan, whisk together mung bean starch and 1.5 cups (300ml) of cold water until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent, forming a thick paste.
2. Pour the hot paste into a shallow dish or mold and spread evenly. Let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until firm and jelly-like.
3. Once firm, carefully unmold the mung bean jelly onto a cutting board and slice it into thin, noodle-like strips or small cubes.
4. In a separate bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil. Mix well to create the sauce.
5. Place the Laping noodles/cubes in a serving bowl, then generously pour the prepared spicy sauce over them. Toss gently to coat all the noodles evenly.
6. Serve Laping immediately as a refreshing and spicy cold dish. Garnish with extra cilantro or green onions if desired.
